blood pressure and break down body fat.

A large review published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute confirms

what we’ve been hearing for years:

Sitting can be fatal.

It’s been linked to cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

In the latest meta-analysis, Daniela Schmidt and Michael F. Leitzmann

of the University of Regensburg in Germany analysed

43 observational studies, amounting to more than 4 million people’s answers to questions about

their sitting behaviour and cancer incidences.

The researchers examined close to 70,000 cancer cases and found that sitting is associated with a 24%

increased risk of colon cancer, a 32% increased risk of endometrial cancer, and

a 21% increased risk of lung cancer.

The Negative Affect of Prolonged Sitting to Posture

Sitting also means your large postural support muscles, such as the quadriceps and gluteus, aren’t doing anything.

When active, these muscles produce a suite of beneficial molecules.

“Skeletal muscles have an electrical activity in them when they’re working which is like the light switch that turns on all these healthy things in the muscles,” explained Marc Hamilton, director of the Inactivity Physiology Program at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre in Louisiana.

When you sit, you turn these light switches off.

Hamilton has also found that just a few hours of sitting suppresses a gene that helps
